We’ve had a busy week at Playlist and I thought I’d draw your attention to some of the cooler items we’ve posted recently.
If you’re interested in portable speakers for your iPod, look no further than Dan Frakes’ reviews of the three premiere iPod speaker systems — Bose’s SoundDock, JBL’s On Stage, and Altec Lansing’s iM3 and iMmini. Does higher price mean better sound? See for yourself.
Those who’d like even more personal listening pleasure will want to take a look at Dan’s headphone overview, Replace Your iBuds. Care to recommend ’phones of your own? Visit this forum thread.
And while Engadget’s illustrated guide to creating an iPod Photo flipbook is cool, we had the technique first. To view Dan’s original text-only tip for making a “video” iPod, check out The World’s First iPod Photo Trick.
If you want the lowdown on the iPod Photo, we’ve got all the details in our expansive review.
And speaking of this colorful iPod, in iPod Photo Potpourri we offer insights on making the most of album art, how importing pictures via a card reader differs from iTunes export, and how you can access the iPod Photo’s hidden Diagnostic screen (and what its tests mean).
And, of course, there’s the usual collection of great tunes, free for the taking (this week’s focus is on tuneful pop songs) and the day’s playlist.
Check it out, I’m sure you’ll find lots to like.
